In electronics manufacturing, safe and reliable material handling requires more than secure gripping. Sensitive components may be damaged by electrostatic discharge, while traditional pneumatic systems can require additional tubing, valves, and compressed-air infrastructure.
Mack’s Electric Vacuum Gripper offers a compact alternative for automated pick-and-place applications. Because vacuum is generated electrically, the gripper does not require an external compressed-air supply. This simplifies installation, reduces pneumatic components, and provides precise control over vacuum generation and release.
When paired with an ESD vacuum cup, the system becomes especially well suited for handling static-sensitive electronic components. The ESD cup helps dissipate static electrical charges at the contact point, reducing the risk of electrostatic damage during lifting, transferring, and placement.
